To all whom 'it may concern:

. Be it known that I, H'ANNAH H. Cor-unos,

afcitizen of the United States, residing at l Kulm, in 'the county of Lumoure and State .of North Dakota, have invented new and the invention being to so combine the parts that, the fare securely held in place -and .loss or reakage thereof prevented in ordinary handling of the chair.v

1With the above and other objects in View, the natureof which will more fully appear as the description pro'ceeds, the invention consists in the novel construction, combination andarrangement of parts as herein fully described, illustrated and claimed.4

In the accompanying drawingz-Figure 1 is a. perspective View of a chair showing the the . ordinarv seat thereof partially slid oiit of place. Fig. .2 is a vertical sectional 'view of the chair showing the closed compartment and tlieintcrchangeable seat thereof in place on the seatframe. Fig. -3 is a vertical section taken at right. angles to Fig. 2 .on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a planview of the vessel.

The chair comprises in the preferred einhodimeut .tliereof four supporting legs 1 arranged at the four corners thereof and connected at the top to the seat frame 2 which is substantially squared or rectangular' in plan, the legs being further connected at. points between the top and bottom thereof by cross runsor braces 3 for giving the necsary strength to the chair asa whole.

The space just. beneath the seat 2 is closed in by means o@ the side boards 4 the front board 5 nnd a'ear board 6 and while tlre boards 4 and 5 are secured' permanently to the legs 1 the rear board .6 is pivot-ally *mounted or hinged at its upper edge. as

shown at 7 adapting the same 'to be raised :inddowered for iving4 access to the compartment formed y allof the boards 4, 5

. in position and 6. At a suitable elevation in the coinpartnierit thus formed, there is arranged :i

Asupporting bottom 8 upon which n vessel i) mayr be placed so that the latter is contained entirely within 4the conipartn'ient and beneath the sent frame.

Just beneath the bottom 8 which is prefer- 'ably slatted as shown in Fig. 2, lthere are oppositely arranged parallel cleats 10 forming support-ing. ledges for' :in extra seat as shown in Figs. 2 and 3 and it will be noted that said seat contained in the compartnientabove described so that ivlicn the door or rear board of the compartment. is closed and fastened by means of n suitable catch 11. the loss o r escape-of said extra seat and the .vessel is prevented, lthus enabling the chair to be moved from place to place without liability of said parts escaping from their lockedvThe seat frame 2 is provided with. a relativel large central opening the edge of whic i is rabbeted as shown at 12 to slidiiigly receive either one of a air of interchangeable seats 13, one of which is shown at Fig.

- l as partially slid out ofiplace but still in engagement. with the rabbets 12. In other words, the seat 13 forms a'slidingfaiid removable section of the seat -frarne and when said seat is in its proper position it is held against movement relativel to' the seat frame by means of a doive 14 which rejects from the bottom of tieseat dor-:n

into amortise in the said frame as' cleai'l)` shown in F ig'. 2. The other interchangeable. seat shown at 15 is also provided with a similar dowel pin adapting-it to beheld in lace the same as the stat 13, or'seat. 1.5
